Dealer Clearinc Accused by Admit ting Sale, Tlotel Steward Is Freed, fin Icy Blame Blunder. Tlie trial cf E. i; Iarrlmore. stew ard of the Oregon Hotel Grill, charged with having ducks out of season, came to an abrupt ending before Justice of the Peace Bell yesterday afternoon, when Deputy District Attorney Frank I. Hennesny moved that the case be dismissed and the Jury discharged, and J. K. Manning, the witness for the state, was arrested Immediately after on a charge of selling ducks out of season. Manning, who. as on of the mana gers of the Aider-street Market, sold the ducks, had beeu subpenaed by the defense to prove that State Game Warden Flnley had given him authori ty to dispose of them after the closed mwod, and had also been subpenaed by the state to prove that he 'had aold the ducks. He was the first witness called by the prosecution, and Immediately began to give testimony exonerating Larrlmor. He admitted having sold the ducks December . the Orst day after the selling season had closed, but said he had had a conferemce with Warden Kinley and Chief Deputy Craig relative to fllspoelng of a supply of ducka that he would have on hand after the closed season. Mr. Flnley told him. he said. It would be all right to sell the (Lucks he had on hand to hotels and other places. Larrlmore he said, had refused to purchase them until assured of this circumstance. Mr. Flnley denied that he had given his sanction to any such transaction. On the ground that the atate could not Impeach lta own wltnesa Attorney George Joseph for the defense objected. Then Mr. Hennessy asked that the case be dismissed. Before the rtartled Jurymen had time to realise what had happened Mr. Henneasy and Mr. Fin ley had hurried out of the room. As the state's own witness had shown Larrlmore to be an Innocent purchaser. Lerrlmore could not have been con victed. Mr. Flnley accuses Hennessy of blundering In calling the wrong wit nees. Hennessy says he called the wit ness to prove the aale of the ducks. As the ca.es against Charles Wright, president, and M. O. Dickinson, mana ger of the Oregon Hotel, who were charged Jointly with Larrlmore with the aame offense, were dismissed at the outset at the request of the Dis trict Attorney, the State Game Warden la left entirely without recourse.

Morrison at Sixth. . Vancouver Homes Quarantined. VANCOUVER, Wash., Jan. 17. (Spe cial.) Several 'new cases of scarlet fever have been reported In the city durlner the past few days, and the NATURES CUBE o FOR BLOOD POISDH S. S. S. is known as Natufe's Cure for Contagious Blood Poison because it is prepared entirely from the blood purifying and healing extracts of roots, herbs and barks taken directly from the natural forests of the land. It does toot contain the least particle of strong mineral ingredients, and is so pre pared as to aid in the upbuilding of every portion of the system, while driv ing Contagious Blood Poison from the blood. No unpleasant effects ever follow the use of S. S. S., such as stomach troubles, dyspepsia, mercurial rheumatism, etc., as is so often the case where other medicines are used. S. S. S. goes down to the very bottom of the trouble and gently but surely, drives out every trace of the disease, cleanses and purifies the circulation, and by its fine vegetable tonic effects, assists the system to raoidly overcome the ravages of the disease, and regain its natural healthful condition. S. S. S. does not cover up or hide the symptoms for awhile, to break out later, but so thoroughly does it remove the cause that no signs of the trouble ever re turn. S. S. S., Nature's cure, is the surest and safest remedy for Contagious Blood Poison- Home Treatment Book with valuable suggestions and infor mation, and any medical advice free to all who write.
